Five simple steps

  1. Pick your destination

    Search by country name or browse our regional bundles. We cover 200+ destinations with single-country and multi-country plans.

    Choose from popular destinations like Japan, France, Thailand, or UAE, or pick a regional plan if your trip crosses multiple borders.

  2. Choose a data plan

    Compare data allowance, validity period, and supported countries. All plans are pay-once — no subscriptions, no auto-renewals.

    Plans start from as little as $1.50. Pick the size that fits your trip: a quick weekend getaway or a month-long adventure.

  3. Checkout in seconds

    Pay securely with any major card via Stripe. Your receipt and QR code are sent to your email immediately after payment.

    No account required to check out. If you create one, all your eSIM orders are saved to your profile for easy re-access.

  4. Install before you fly

    Open the email, tap the QR code, and add the eSIM in your phone's cellular settings while connected to Wi-Fi at home.

    Compatible with all modern eSIM-capable iPhones and Android devices. The eSIM sits alongside your regular SIM — no swap needed.

  5. Activate when you land

    Turn on data roaming for your eSIM line in Settings when you arrive. You're online in seconds — no queuing at airport kiosks.

    Your home SIM stays active the whole time, so you can still receive calls and texts on your main number.

Frequently asked questions

Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

Most smartphones released after 2018 support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer. Go to Settings → General → About (iPhone) or Settings → Connections → SIM Manager (Android) to confirm.

Can I keep my regular SIM active while using a Travalo SIM eSIM?

Yes. eSIMs are separate from your physical SIM. Keep your home SIM in for calls and texts, and use the Travalo SIM eSIM for mobile data abroad. Most phones let you set which line handles data.

When does my data plan start counting down?

Validity begins when you first connect to a supported network on the eSIM line, not when you install the QR code. You can install it days before your trip without losing any validity.

What if I run out of data?

Return to Travalo SIM and purchase another plan for the same destination. Install the new QR code and switch your data line — it's the same process as the first time.

Do I need an account to buy an eSIM?

No account is required at checkout. Your QR code is sent directly to your email. Creating a free account lets you view all your past orders in one place.

Are Travalo SIM plans data-only?

Yes. All plans provide mobile data. For calls and messages abroad, use apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection.
